Answer:

Net Cash flow from operating = $ 1,722,000  

Explanation:

To determine the net cash flow from operating activities. We will adjust the net income as follows; all decrease in assets and increase in liabilities are added and all increase in assets and decrease in liabilities are subtracted.

All non- cash expenses would be added back and all non-cash income would be deducted from the net income. Notable here is depreciation a non-cash expense which must be added back to the net income

This principle is applied below:

                                                                $

Net Income                                        1,400,000

Adjustments:

Add depreciation expense                 224,000

Add decrease in current asset           490,000      

less decrease in current liabilities     (392,000)      

Net Cash flow from operating            1,722,000  

Net Cash flow from operating = $ 1,722,000
